Hohengeroldseck Castle ruins

The impressive ruins of the Hohengeroldseck Castle
are in the center of the region. The “Geroldseck Land” stretches from Ettenheim
in the south and Offenburg in the north, from the Kinzig Valley in the east all
the way to the Rhine River in the west. It carries the name of the Herren von Geroldseck,
who had their seat here from
the 11 th to the 17 th century. Their territory originally
stretched from Alsace in the west to Swabia in the east.
